Tara (Devi) In Hinduism , the goddess Tara ( Bengali :দেবী তারা মা )( Sanskrit : Tārā , Devanagari : तारा ) meaning "rescuer" (in feminine gender) is the second of the Dasa (ten) Mahavidyas or "Great Wisdom [goddesses]", Tantric manifestations of Mahadevi , Kali , or Parvati . As the star is seen as a beautiful but perpetually self-combusting thing, so Tara is perceived at core as the absolute, unquenchable hunger that propels all life. Origin [ edit ] The oral tradition gives an origin to the goddess Tara. The legend begins with the churning of the ocean between the Devas and Asuras . Iconography [ edit ] The similarities in appearances between Kali and Tara are striking and unmistakable. Like Kali, furthermore, Tara in her Hindu context enjoys blood. Tara can be distinguished visually from Kali primarily via her implements. Tarapith temple [ edit ] Unlike most Indian villages and towns, the smashan or cremation ground is not situated on the periphery of the village. See also [ edit ]
